Do these labels really have any benefit or value in society, or are they just yet another lame excuse for us all to hate on a group of 'others'

They referred to specific ideologies and economic and social policies before the modern corporate propaganda machine really started in the 80s. Pretty sure they’re meaningless to most Americans these days.

I hate that the left is so hell bent on creating division among itself and allies with this "nobody is left enough for me;" bullshit.

There are absolutely people who are too right leaning to be called Leftist

Kamala Harris for example is not a leftist; nor Biden or buttigieg…. They are still less evil than Trump though lol

If they're voting against conservatives, they can be as far right as they like. I've seen people who vote left get called "too right leaning". So what you would prefer they don't vote along you? You don't want an ally cause they're too different from you??

They can vote however they like, but if our ideologies are different I want a way to distinguish that difference.

Voting is like the bare minimum you can do. I know lots of people who make a more material difference in their communities than voting ever has.

A liberal will turn my ass into the cops and then lick their boots clean after they kick my door in and lock me up. Don't need that kind of "ally".

Enjoy a second Trump presidency and more conservative wins then. Cause at least those fucks on the right accept each other's votes and support without turning on each other like children

We do vote. I never said we don't.
